Beverly Gray

Beverly Gray is a series of mystery stories comprising 26 novels, and published between 1934 and 1955, by Clair Blank, the pen name of Clarissa Mabel Blank Moyer. The novels began as a series of school stories, following the progress of Beverly, its main character, through college, various romances, and a career as a reporter, before evolving strictly into a mystery series.

Beverly is portrayed as an extraordinarily determined individual, with "a driving ambition in her heart that would not let her idle her life away." Across 26 books, she leads "such a life of adventure as would tax the resources of any soap opera heroine".
